Found for sale on eBay for just $200 this PSP phone has a similar design to the Helio Ocean and sports PSP branding and 11 pre-installed NES games.
Don’t be fooled into thinking this phone is some kind of collaboration between Sony and Nintendo - its 100 percent fake.
The sliding device opens to reveal a keypad and games controller and features a 3 inch touchscreen and 3 megapixel digital camera.
With 512mb of internal memory and 3 high quality stereo speakers this is a well equipped device. Measuring 105×54x24mm and weighing 102 grams its quite slim as well.
Apart from ripping off Nintendo and Sony the device also uses the Anycall trademark owned by Samsung.

Sony Playstation phone rumours first surfaced last year and then quickly died down. Now it seems that a Sony PSP branded gaming phone might be on the cards after all.
According to various reports Sony Ericsson might be about to include a PSP branded mobile phone into their range. Whilst this might seem a bit far fetched it would actually be a very good move. Sony Ericsson is becoming very well known for its Walkman phones and if they chose to make a large screen phone designed for gaming it would no doubt sell very well.

With all the rumours about the Apple iPod phone coming to nothing could Sony be about to pull off a major coup and release a Playstation phone?
According to various rumour mills mobile phone features could be added to the PSP or, which we consider more likely, a Sony Ericsson phone could be branded with the Playstation logo in a similar manner to the Walkman phones on offer at present.
Sony’s Izumi Kawanishi started the rumours by saying;
“Could the PSP ever replace your cell phone? There is a possibility, I won’t deny it. Personally, I’m interested in it. Of course, it’s not the case that you can connect to wireless LAN everywhere, so you can’t call it a permanent connection. But cell phones are permanently connected. Cell phones get more interesting as their data transfer rate increases, and I think it would be extremely interesting to try something like that.”
If this is anything like the iPod phone fiasco expect years of rumours without any products. If its like anything else that Sony, Sony Ericsson and the Playstation team are behind expect it to hit the shelves next year.
